How do we talk about the Israel-Hamas War as journalists and historians?  objective?  well-sourced?  “fairness doctrine” (both sides) contextualization ​

​I love Laura’s tagline for her show:  “The TV and radio show where the people who say it can't be done take a backseat to the people who are doing it.”  The Janus Adams Show tag is that it’s a show “about race—every race—and courage.”  I knew I’d do a show about the Crisis between the Israelis and the Palestinians, but I didn’t know how I would have that conversation until I heard Laura’s interview with Josh Paul--the U.S. State Department official whose resignation letter went viral.  Hearing that, there was no one I wanted to have an informative, thought-provoking discussion of the Israel-Palestine crisis than Laura Flanders. 

Laura Flanders is the host and executive producer of The Laura Flanders Show, which airs on PBS stations nationwide. She is an Izzy-Award winning independent journalist, a New York Times bestselling author and the recipient of the Pat Mitchell Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women’s Media Center.

​​MARK TWAIN ON THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

"There were two 'Reigns of Terror', if we could but remember and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passions, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon a thousand persons, the other upon a hundred million; but our shudders are all for the "horrors of the... momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty and heartbreak? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief terror that we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror - that unspeakable bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves."
